From: SoCal OC
S, GL, Escalade ESV, my shoes
03 S430
Bought June 2007 at 54K mile
Car now have 108K mile
From SoCal, car enjoyed 5-6 trips to Vegas, 2 to SanFran/Napa, 1 to Grand Canyon, plenty of 100-130 mph blast on open highway.
So far, replaced EIS ($450), front air-matic cap ($400), bunch of filter (air, gas, cabin..), 6 oil changes, update GPS with latest CDs, two set of brake, 2 set of tire. And that's all.
Still drive as good as the day I bought it, and look/drive just as car w/ 20K mile. Avg 20.5 mpg, lot of stop-n-go in SoCal. 3 fill up per week. Car wash every other week.
Good car !.
I'm in a process of getting an Escalade ESV to accommodate my now larger family, but I'm sure the W220 would still be a ride of choice when we need to go long trip. Btw, you can get 1-2 years old Caddy SUV for almost 1/2 off.

But 32,000 on my '05 (turned over somewhere between coming back from "Phantom of the Opera" Thursday night, and going to an organ concert last night) - mainly run up between DC and Tampa, and more lately doing the "tourist thing" here in Florida.
